<h1>Formatting a Gauge widget</h1>
<p>For an image of a Gauge widget and steps to add one to a document, see 
 
<a HREF="Gauge_widget.htm">Defining a Gauge widget</a>.</p>
<p>This widget automatically inherits much of the formatting contained 
 in its Grid/Graph. The following is some of the formatting inherited from 
 the Grid/Graph:</p>
<ul type="disc" class="whs1">
	
<li class=p><p>Font colors, types, and formatting</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Color of the needles are inherited from the underlying 
 series color</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Color of the ticks on the gauge are inherited from the 
 y-axis grid line</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Fill color and gradients for the legend and background</p></li>
</ul>
<p>You can change these default formats. If you do not want to apply any 
 default formatting, clear the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Inherit 
 graph formatting</B></span> check box in the Properties dialog box. </p>
<p>The table below suggests formatting ideas and provides steps to format 
 the Gauge widget. The steps can be performed in Flash Mode. They can also 
 be performed in Interactive Mode if the widget has been defined to display 
 as a widget in DHTML, and DHTML is enabled in Web. For instructions to 
 determine how the widget is displayed, see 
<a href="Widget_non_Flash.htm">Determining 
 how a widget is rendered in non-Flash modes</a>. For instructions to enable 
 DHTML, see 
<a href="DHTML-only_features_in_Web.htm">Enabling DHTML in 
 MicroStrategy Web</a>.</p>
